Research summary

This researcher studies primary cilia, tiny hair-like sensory structures found on most cells, and how they help cells send and receive signals, especially in brain neurons. Much of the work focuses on Bardet-Biedl syndrome, a genetic disorder linked to cilia dysfunction, and how proteins get properly positioned within cilia to enable normal signaling, development, and organ function.
